Firstly, Welcome to the Chandoo.org Forums


The ^ in a formula means Raise to the power of


4^2 = 4*4 = 16

5^4 = 5*5*5*5 = 625
 
^ is exponentiation operator.


E.g: 9 ^ 2 = 9 * 9 = 81


* Try this in Excel for quick demo:


1. Enter any number in Cell A1 of an excel sheet

2. Enter '=A1^2' (without quotes) in A2 cell

3. You will get square of the number you have entered in cell A1
